Indeed. It'll be amusing to see all the naysayers posting WTB ads so they can get a copy.

Not this time. Pre-orders weren't limited this time around AND they're going to be open again closer to release supposedly. Collector's are gonna have plenty of opportunities to have already pre-ordered, or to order when it's released.

Game does look really good and I wouldn't mind playing it. That said, it doesn't look like a hobby-changing experience, so I know i'm personally done dropping $400+ on "good" games. I can get great games for $30 on xbox one. Maybe i'm just personally sour on this one, but even if I weren't, I would still argue they announced it way too soon - I get that the neo generates more hardcore attention, but this one is just too long imo.

The sprite work looks nice, I will say that much; but otherwise it's a blantant rip off of Geo Storm / Metal Slug with some danmaku bullet patterns thrown in. More needlessly expensive homebrew.

Tarma, you're alive!

It appears better than Metal Slug 4 and I dropped a mountain of pennies on that flaming pile of turd. On that note, I'm going to dig it out now and remind myself.

Ha. Ever bought / pre-ordered anything from Watermelon? All these homebrews hillbillys are the same.

Not going to happen."

This is kind of where I'm at on this one. They game looks really sweet, but I could think of way better ways to spend $500 on this hobby. If this game was $20 on PSN, I'd be all over it.

I'm sure this has been answered earlier in this thread but I can't find it. Has NGev taken preorders for BOTH the limited/collectors AES version and the regular AES version of Kraut Buster? Or are we still waiting on them to post up preorders for the regular version?

I just like that it says it come with a marquee. I had to make one or two for their other releases. (which I guess in the case of Xyx it doesn't make a lot of sense b/c it gets ran in a single slot E2 setup). One of the main draws for the Red NG cabinets is the selector lights up top.

Game looks decent. Expensive, but I'm still excited to play. We don't get a ton of run and guns these days- thin breed next to shmups. Curious to see how it turns out.

Hmm, how did they pull of 60fps?? Maybe less animatins? Or did Nazca suck at programming? See MS2??

More quality overpriced, unoriginal garbage from the folks at NG DEV!

No shit sherlock But when you look closely you see here and there references to Pac-Man and even Ridge Racer.

Come on, SNK was notorius for that in the beginning like that shitty Fatal Fury which played nearly as shitty as Street Fighter1. Oh wait it was the designer of SF1 Considering that team is very small and not employed by a big Arcade manufacturer they do a far far better job than SNK did in the early NEO days.

You're absolutely right: NG:DEV feels right at home when producing enjoyable tech-demos, rather than games. Using technology available 20 years after the fact, along with deadlines prolonged for, literally, years. Now, how did they pull that off??

MS2 was SNK's first attempt at a Metal Slug then hired hired Nazca and made X as the "fix" for MS2. iirc

Didn't know that. I thought they were bought by SNK. But who knows how many og Irem peeps where still there at that time. All MSs had that Irem vibe until MS4 happened.

??? Please elaborate. Bad luck with them? Only thing I see is that vid and it seems pretty solid. Other than that I am not in the know how they act in terms of delivering.
